Question

To make one cup tea ratio of water to milk is 3:1.to make 4 cups of tea how many cups of water and milk is required?

Answer 1

Hi Nishu... Looks like you haven't understood the concept of ratio and proportion. Here follow the following steps - (1) Water : Milk for 1 Cup = 3 : 1 (2) We must write the ratio as a fraction = 3/1 (3) Now, we multiply 4 with both numerator and denominator = 12/4 (4) So, the ratio of Water :Milk for 4 cups of Tea is 12 : 4. Hope I could help you understand.... Looking forward to help you again;))

Answer 2

Hey alisha you are right and in a simple way we could just say that we have to multiply the ratio by 4.
